I have a strange issue with the cam.

I know that the cam is very tricky at the moment, but i didn`t had this problem

in the previous beta so maybe someone can give me a tip for that.

When I take a picture, with stock cam, LG, or others, the picture is sometimes not saved.

But when it get`s saved, it`s only on of the last pictures I took!?

And the really funny thing is.. in the gallery there is also the wrong picture,

but the right one is shown as the small preview picture underneath! :confused:

In the last beta I was at least able to took a normal photo.

With some glitches indeed, but it worked.

Any solutions there?

modified Contacts.apk

Hi guys,

as promised... here comes the modified Contacts.apk without the nasty search button on call log and favorites view.

Save to sdcard then tap on it in a root explorer like ES. Confirm replacement of the system app.

Enjoy!
[HTC Desire S] chrisi100:
THANKS! tested and working great.

I would love to know what you have changed.
[HTC Desire S] nk111:

to anyone who uses the unlock fix... it might happen that you see an lock screen with no slider control! This happens when you are in landscape mode when screen is turned off. To unlock the phone pull down notification bar click on settings icon and then the back key! I'm working on a fix for the fix ;)

[HTC Desire S] casaben:
Since I installed the unlockfix from a couple of posts above (the one installable by flashing it), the sim unlock works as before (i.e. you unlock, screen goes black, then when connected screen comes on again).

So that is great.

However, after a reboot, I now get the error message : "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped". It happens right after a reboot and on random times. Never seen this before.

I can still access the Gallery application without issues afterwards, but it's just a bit strange.

Another issue I had was that when (short) pressing the volume with screen off, caused my music track to skip (so long press was sent). This is now gone, but when I touch the volume with screen off, and music playing, another music app starts playing a track and my current player is paused (in my case, Poweramp is playing and touching volume with screen off, starts Grooveshark or built-in music app).

Maybe I'm doing something wrong here ?

Although the ROM has some issues, I love it more than my perfectly working and tuned CM7.1 :-) I just hope that one of the next priorities will become the front cam. I'm eager to Skype again and perhaps try the face unlock :-)

I've noticed that charging my phone is really slow on this ROM. Before (not CM9), it would take about 2h to go from 20% to full, now it takes 4-5 hours?
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
i've noticed the same thing using virtuous quattro rc3...maybe ics related?
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
1. Nice to hear that the unlock fix makes you happy.

2. Gallery crash on start is a known problem. Its somehow related to the gallery apps version and if picasa syncing is enabled in the gallery. So you might try disable the sync and see what happens.

3. So is short pressing volume now working for you? About the other music apps starting... I could only imagine that your music app somehow doesn't register itself for the media key events that are sent by long pressing volume....

4. No idea about charging. My phone is almost all day on USB... ;)

PS: and the camera... I'm still working on it. Got some input today from that Chinese guy who made the back cam working. Let's see...
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
If you updated from another ROM without full wipe, it could be that you have two gallery apk in your system app folder.

Search with root filemanager (ES,rootexplorer) in System/app/ folder for gallery.apk and if you have two there,

just delete one, reboot and the problem is solved.

I had the same issue and this worked for me.
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
A bit of feedback:

- YouTube app still plays videos at a very slow framerate (audio is fine)

- When watching a YouTube video in the web browser, it plays audio for a few seconds then goes silent (video continues), and no audio (sound, tones, music) can be played on the phone after that point unless rebooted.
[HTC Desire S] nsmart:
Does anyone know, when the Cyanogenmod-Feature "Control-of-Application-rights" will be implemented in CM9? I mean the possibility to deny apps some of the requested rights, e.g. deny internet-access. This was built in CM7.

I have some apps installed, that request rights I don't wan't to grant them. With CM7 there was only one click/push to do to deny individual rights for apps.
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
Try this app: PDroid
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
It's not implemented for ICS yet (correct me if I am wrong)
[HTC Desire S] Airpil:
What about LBE Privacy Guard ??

you can use DroidWall to configure internal iptables firewall.

Even if the software can collect some information about you, it can't be send without your permission =)
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
Oh really!? I don`t know!?

I don`t use the app by myself, but I heared from lot`s of people that use it.

I am sorry, if it`s not working in ICS.
[HTC Desire S] Airpil:
I am again about localisation. Is the any way to add Russian on to original ICS t9 dialer pad. ?

And also Encryption. I am use my phone for access to corporate email. But without encryption it does't work =(

I wonder... can anyone possibly make another tab like Widgets and apps but Music? It will have the song list in it and when you press it the music player pop up with the song you've clicked..

I don't think it'll be really hard as we have already two tabs.

I removed the gallery2 and seems fine now. Thanks

I'm using CM9 exclusively on my phone. I have no problems, but the following has happened to me twice in the last week since doing a clean install of 30.Jan.

Gmail has a corrupted text display:

@nk111, is this what you're talking about? Kinda sucks when having to enter the path ;-)
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Yepp. That's it. Use the notification bar work around til the fix is ready ;)

PS: i really hope the baby is gonna have some sleep over noon so I can fix this... ;)
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Well, with a lock pattern, the notification bar can't be pulled down :-)

But hey, I got time to wait for a fix and reboot the phone meanwhile ;-)

Thx for your work, much appreciated!
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Unlock fix fixed...

Got some dev time due to a kindly sleeping baby ;)

here you have the fix for PIN unlock without the landscape orientation bug...

(volume key mods included)

enjoy!

PS: use the flashable zip OR copy android.policy.jar with a root explorer to /system/framework and reboot.
[HTC Desire S] Arcaneex:
Me again. Could anybody try doing it? Or show me a tutorial to do it myself maybe? It is really useful ( Atleast for me. )

So far so good , no bugs found ^^
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
You mean in the app drawer? Wouldn't it be easier to just open the music app then?
[HTC Desire S] Arcaneex:
Well it will take me time to find it in the drawer , and its easier for me to just have the song list open all the time.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Apologies for the lack of posting these past few days, had a whole heap of other stuff going on so haven't had much development time at all. However, hopefully my internet will be getting upgraded soon, which will make ROM uploads quicker, and I've added a bit more hardware to my development box which means I can compile CM9 in 15 minutes now, instead of 25.

Ok, let's handle these in order:

- I'll look into the vibration issues, but I haven't noticed any myself yet. I've made a note to check.

- GPS locking works, but does seem a little slow right now. Network based location seems ok to me though, but again I'll check.

- Browser performance and crashes are down to a kernel issue we're still trying very hard to fix. As HTC haven't released any kernel source for the 3.0 kernel, we've had to back-port a bunch of stuff into our kernel. Right now there's an issue with the kernel interface to the EGL drivers which is causing the kernel to fall over. Sometimes it reboots, other times it hangs the phone. We're working really hard to fix it, but no progress yet I'm afraid =( Quattro RC3 suffers from this issue too as their kernel is based upon ours.

This is related to the above issue.

- YouTube video is mostly broken right now as hardware acceleration of video decoding isn't functional. It's being worked on.

I'm not sure if/when this is being added to the core of CM9, it's all very much still in development.

I'll look into this, thanks for the link.

I believe this is related to the EGL kernel issues.

Work is, as always, ongoing. Almost everything changed with ICS, especially as HC was for tablets only, so we've got 2 major releases of changes to work on. As far as I'm aware there's no ETA for any sort of release but everyone is working hard =)
[HTC Desire S] Arcaneex:
Some why after I download some songs and try to play them music crashes.. on one song for example it stopped working but after a day it worked normally.. help?
[HTC Desire S] Airpil:
IMHO this is not very good solution. i have 28Gb of music on my SD. All songs in one list will be totally unuseful. -)

You can use Search button to find particular song ;)
[HTC Desire S] Arcaneex:
Depends , for me it is awfully useful ^^ Would be nice if someone could make it , even just as a side addon

reboot issues

Were the reboot issues also on the 27-01 post or appeared with the 30-01 post ?
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Reboot issues were also present in older roms. It happens from time to time. I got the feeling it often happens when scrolling large websites in browser...
[HTC Desire S] ljankok:
I made a small test and could reproduce a reboot each time I swept to the left when at the lock screen... curiously sweeping to the right doesn't have the same effect..

Can i just flash this without full wipe when i come from reaper rom?

Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire S mit Tapatalk
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
No, definitely not! Full wipe is needed.

Just use Titanium Backup to backup everything, and it will take you not more than 25 minutes to have everything up and running again, so it's not that much of an effort! (and it's definitely worth it!) ;)
[HTC Desire S] devilloki:
thank your ROM,but flash light not work.

Any new build? :-*
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
yes. 2 - 3 every day... :D
[HTC Desire S] Arcaneex:
Can anyone please disable volume wake and track changing? Its really annoying when you simply want to lower the volume and the track keeps changing..
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Use the 'android.policy.jar' from this post by nk111 instead of the one shipped with CM9. This one includes long press for skipping tracks but not wake up on a short press. Just tap volume a few times instead of holding it down.

Otherwise use an older version of android.policy.jar from one of the previous builds of CM9 eg, http://ftp.f3l.de/~nexx/cyanogenmod9/update-cm-9.0.0-Alpha-DesireS-signed-20120118.zip, which has neither track skipping nor wake up.
[HTC Desire S] nk111:

[HTC Desire S] riaan0010:

[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
Are you kidding me? ;) is this frontcam?
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
maybe android 4.0.4 brought to you some help? ;) :D anyway good news...maybe it's time to try CM9 after Quattro
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Lol that photo is so confusing. I can't tell if it's front camera or a mirror or something.
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
If you see the front in the mirror which cam could have made the picture?

OK its hard since its upside down too... got to fix this next... and no. Android 4.0.4 did not solve any problems. Assembler debugging did. Hell yeah!
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
LOOLL duhhhhhhh.. I feel so stupid right now. Awesome work though!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
It took me about 5 minutes to understand that picture. In the end I had to disable auto rotate so I could see it properly. Does this mean face unlock is close?! Great work!
[HTC Desire S] hyperdude111:
I think I speak for all of us when I say.

OMG NEW BUILD?!

But it's great to see progress being made, thanks devs.

[HTC Desire S] thedieselspaceship:
Great news! Looking forward to the new build :-)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
@nk111 Are you some sort of underground developer? Where the hell were you all this time? You actually fixed front cam :D:D:D:D:D:D I hope we get face unlock working, only reason i wanted to get front camera working.
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
I hope the face unlock will disable itself when light conditions will be insufficient ;) I had Visidon app installed on cm7.1. For first minutes it was like wow... then it became a balast

[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
When I tested CM9 a few days ago the rear camera was working (no vid but pic). But the highest option for resolution to choose was 4MP .

caused by that every taken picture was distorted. your picture from the front can looks very fine. Is there any progress with that rear cam?

But anyways great work nk111 !!
[HTC Desire S] crescal:
thanks for that:D

by the way, any way to fix the picture corruption when shooting in portrait mode?

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

actually when you hold your phone in landscape mode to take a picture, it's not likely to be distorted
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
keep it up the good work nk111!!!! can't wait for next release :D
[HTC Desire S] ponchofiesta:

[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
There already is an extra thread just for the source of this information. And a few more threads by guys that didn't realize there already is a thread ;-)

@crescal: I had distortion in both modes landscape and horizontal
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
just face unlocked my phone :p

unfortunately the preview in the settings doesn't work due to memory allocation problems. But the face recognition works. Suddenly it said "face recognized"!

The you set up a fallback unlock option (PIN or pattern).

The I locked the phone and sitched back on. I had a sqare black box in the middle of the screen. I think there also should be a preview window. When I now look at the phone it gets unlocked! When I hold it away I get the pattern lockscreen after some seconds.

Kind of cool.

Don't expect a new release too early. The whole camera stuff is really buggy and the face unlock needs new gapps which are not released official yet :(

So please please be patient! I will try to improve the stability of the cam first and fix orientation bug!

update: i added two screenshots of how it looks like when face was recognized and the fallback options. I could not make a screenshot of the lockscreen itself. It unlocks too fast :)
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
wow great news.

Why aren't there any new threads announcing this Progress?? ;-)
[HTC Desire S] Airpil:
Please don't put Gapps into the rom. put it into external zip file.

For those how really want's face unlock, gmail, market etc.

Does the Automatic brightness feature work for you guys? Even I have it enabled, my phone is always stuck at a certain brightness level no matter how bright or how dark the room is.

I've checked that the light sensor is still up and working well.
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Works very well here. I "use custom" light levels and "allow light decrease" (this is in settings >> display >> automatic backlight)

The brightness thresholds can be adjusted, as in CM7.
[HTC Desire S] microlah:
I tried what you suggested, and it is not working. I also played around with the settings and tried using the light filter aswell and it doesn't help either. The brightness level would be what I manually set previously.

Camera news sounded too good.

But I think pushing and asking is not necessary..
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
well, what do you mean with "today"? it's quarter to midnight here... ;)

So I can say NO. Not TODAY :p

progress info: maybe I just found the source of our major problem: Cam crashes on first use if it was in front cam mode before the boot. That also causes face unlock right after reboot not to work. With a very dirty hack I just had face unlock working right after boot for the first time. Maybe nexx will find something in the night. I go to sleep now. Tomorrow at least I will dump a alpha build somewhere for you if we'll not get a "real" release ready. Just as a proof of concept :)

Good night!

No ETA on the next build from me, but I've been working on integrating nk111's camera fixes, as well as getting the camera HAL merged into CyanogenMod so more of the 7x30 devices can benefit from it.

Oh, and I fixed USB tethering ;) I've also been working on the kernel, trying to get our KGSL patched up to the latest on CAF to try and fix the crashes with heavy 3D use.

[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Do you have any idea why the camera pictures are still distorted?

Or is this just because of the missing source code?

Edit: right now my camera doesn't work at all. Always fc :-(

But market cam still works
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
front cam + face unlock test

Ok guys...

as promised an intermediate release to play with. It comes as it is without any promises or warranty. Flash at your own risk.

Features:

contains latest CM bits

front cam working (well... sometimes)

face unlock working (partly)

maybe usb tethering (did not test)

Issues:

when cam crashes on start (and it WILL from time to time) delete the cam's app data through settings->manage apps

face unlock will show no preview. Not when setting it up and not on the lockscreen! But It still works!

front cam has orientation bug. Taken pictures are upside down

face unlock will not work right after boot. If you've enabled face unlock and it crashes hit the emergency call button then click return. This will bring up your fallback unlock. You got to log in and start camera app at least once successful (see above). From then face unlock should be working.

When you try to setup face unlock without preview be patient. It will start recognizing your face. Just wait and prevent the screen from timing out.

more...

You also need a gapps update for the face unlock feature. It only contains face unlock and libs. So don't worry about other google apps.

Downloads (mediafire):

ROM

gapps - facelock

This can be flashed over old CM9 alphas.

Enjoy!
